Word Cloud is a visual representation of text data where the font size of a word depicts the frequency of this word in a set of text data. Even though Word clouds are not a perfect tool for data analysis and business data visualizations, they have their place in infographics. Word clouds can also reveal patterns in your responses that may guide future analysis.
